Abstract

ABSTRACT While Appreciative Intelligence® – the capacity to reframe and see the potential in any situation and act on it with success – has generated a robust body of literature, scholarly advancement of this construct has been hampered by the lack of a validated instrument. Over two studies, we develop the Appreciative Intelligence® Scale (AIS), a 26-item survey organized into six factors. Study 1 explores the factor structure of the AIS using EFA. Study 2 uses hierarchical confirmatory factor analysis (HCFA) and hierarchical regression analyses to provide evidence for its convergent, discriminant, and criterion-related validity. The results support the priori six-factor structure of the AIS, indicating it is a valid measure of Appreciative Intelligence® useful in predicting proactive behavior at the individual, team, and organizational levels.

赞赏智力®量表的开发与验证

摘要尽管赞赏智力®——在任何情况下重塑和看到潜力并成功应对的能力——已经产生了大量的文献，但由于缺乏有效的工具，这一结构的学术进步受到了阻碍。在两项研究中，我们开发了赞赏智力®量表（AIS），这是一项26项调查，分为六个因素。研究1利用EFA探讨了AIS的因素结构。研究2使用层次验证性因素分析（HCFA）和层次回归分析为其收敛性、判别性和标准相关的有效性提供证据。结果支持AIS的先验六因素结构，表明它是一种有效的赞赏智力®测量方法，有助于预测个人、团队和组织层面的主动行为。

期刊介绍： Human Performance publishes research investigating the nature and role of performance in the workplace and in organizational settings and offers a rich variety of information going beyond the study of traditional job behavior. Dedicated to presenting original research, theory, and measurement methods, the journal investigates individual, team, and firm level performance factors that influence work and organizational effectiveness. Human Performance is a respected forum for behavioral scientists interested in variables that motivate and promote high-level human performance, particularly in organizational and occupational settings. The journal seeks to identify and stimulate relevant research, communication, and theory concerning human capabilities and effectiveness. It serves as a valuable intellectual link between such disciplines as industrial-organizational psychology, individual differences, work physiology, organizational behavior, human resource management, and human factors.
